JEEP Officially Launched in India; Range Starts @ Rs. 71,59,104

Months after its debut at theAuto Expo 2016, Jeephas finally officially entered India. Spearheading Jeep’s charge into India are the Wrangler Unlimited, Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee SRT. The Jeep India launch was initially scheduled for 2014. However, various factors ensued delay in launch by a couple of years. Jeep earlier announced that it will launch a locally assembled product in 2017. Read on to find more on the Jeep India prices, specifications and details of Jeep cars in India-

Among the Jeep models on sale in India is the very macho 2016 Wrangler Unlimited. It becomes the entry-level model in Jeep’s product portfolio for India. The Wrangler is a legendary name known for its unmatched off-roading capabilities. The Jeep Wrangler will cost you just a little north of Rs. 71 Lakhs.

The high pricing is due to the exorbitant import duties levied on CBU imports. There is no direct rival to the Jeep Wrangler in the county right now. And there is unlikely to be one in the near future. Although only one variant will be on offer, the Wrangler will be customizable to a certain extent. Customers can opt for either a hard top, soft top or no top. Also, the no top variant can be had without doors.

The Jeep Wrangler Unlimited has to be the most stylish model at the Jeep India launch event. However, it is actually the Jeep Grand Cherokee that could become the highest seller for Jeep. The full-size SUV goes up against the likes of the Mercedes-Benz GLS, BMW X5, Audi Q7 and the Volvo XC90. It is also available in the SRT trim, which you can read more about in the following sections.

Easily the sportiest of the lot, the Grand Cherokee SRT should become a hot favourite of those looking for a sporty, high-performance SUV in India. It targets the BMW X5M and the Mercedes-Benz GLE 63 AMG.

While the focus currently lies entirely on the Wrangler and Grand Cherokee, Jeep has no plans of bringing the Renegade compact SUV anytime soon. We will eventually have the Renegade being built at FIAT’s Ranjangaon facility though. India will get an all-new C-Segment SUV, which will replace the Jeep Compass and Patriot internationally. The Renegade has been spotted testing in India on multiple occasions fueling rumours of its launch in India. However, Jeep has been using these test mules to tune their new platform for an all-new product that will come to India in 2017.
